Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Farway: Those birds are loving the bath, worthy of front page I would think, must top mine up soon.

This place is crazily full of birds currently, especially early and late. I counted roughly 20 on the lawn at 07.00, with maybe another 10 taking time out around it. Suddenly we have many blackbirds including the newly fledged, when earlier in the year they were very scarce. I'm not sure what the attraction is. Surely the worms arte well down in the earth right now, but maybe not in the early morning? 🤔

The black birds are still the only animals we have witnessed eating slugs. 😇

Farway: Brave man Dusty on going fibre, not that it shouldn't work but the world being what it is I'm wary of fixing what, for me, is not broken. Anyway once Dear Northern Leader gets going you will be able to watch all the Approved Truth channels much faster now.

I don't think there's much option, given that the copper wires will be switched-off eventually. 😥 But it's not a done deal. We've been told 2 different things about the manner in which the cable will enter the house, so it remains to be seen which they try to foist on us.😏

One of the two will be a "No." We negotiate from there if that happens.

As for the other issue of government interference with the media, there are channels other than YT, and there are VPNs. I seem to recall having to use 'other services' in 2021. 😛

No more gardening till this evening. Last night, I wandered over the fields at 21.00, expecting to spray 'a few' thistles I'd missed on Sunday. A great many were still smiling at me! 😡 By 22.00 I was fairly sure I'd hit those too, but the light wasn't good by then.

Another 'dreamy' morning light photo. No grapefruit, though it was breakfast time. That hydrangea in the background seems to be changing its mind about being blue. 😕
